I've only had mine for a few hours - I've only just started applying stickers - but I agree with most comments so far. I wish that the hip and knee joints were a bit stiffer, so they wouldn't flop about when manhandling him. Looking at the face, I don't feel like I'm missing out by not having a chromed face, although silver paint on the face and thighs would have been nice.
I like the light and sound gimmick, but I wish that the eyes would stay consistently lit when Metroplex speaks - it would help when using the lever to better showcase the moving 'eyeballs'. It's got a good range of sounds and phrases, but I feel that it should have had a second button for weapon sounds - cannon firing, missiles launching, whatever.
At the Big W sale price, considering the sheer amount of toy you get, I'd have to say it's the best value-for-money Transformers toy purchase I've ever made.
